RECENT ADVANCES IN EVALUATION OF THE OPTIC NERVE IN GLAUCOMA
Hany Abbas Abd El-Rahman El-Gammal;
Abstract
Glaucoma is defined as damage to the visual system related to rise of the intraocular pressure leading to characteristic morphological and pathological changes to the optic nerve head and nerve fiber layer.
The early detection of damage to the visual system by glaucoma is important because visual loss is usually permanent.
A wide variety of parameters of the optic nerve head have been used over the years both as risk factors for glaucoma and as criteria for the definition of glaucomatous optic nerve damage.
The early detection of glaucomatous optic nerve is important and can be carried through:
1) Cup-disc ratio.
2) Visual field examination by different types of perimetry.
3) Neuroretinal rim evaluation.
4) The health of nerve fiber layer. More recent methods include:
